OneOhio 2024 Annual Report
As we reflect on the critical work that the OneOhio Recovery Foundation has accomplished over the past year, we are reminded of the toll that the addiction epidemic has taken on the lives of Ohioans. The devastation caused by addiction reaches every corner of our state. It touches families, children, employers, first responders, and many others in indirect ways. Stopping, healing and reversing this crisis is our mission, and through the collaborative efforts of many partners, we are hard at work.
In 2024, the Foundation took a significant step forward by awarding more than $45 million in grants to local programs that are addressing the needs of those affected by the addiction crisis. These initial grants are supporting a range of initiatives—from prevention, education, and treatment programs to recovery, housing, and mental health services. The Foundation’s comprehensive approach and focus on evidence-based solutions ensures that every dollar is spent wisely, benefiting those who need it most in ways that can make real progress.
The success of these programs is not just measured in the dollars awarded, but in the lives that are transformed across our state. Our grantees are empowering individuals, families, and communities to break free from the cycle of addiction. These efforts are helping prevent new addiction, support those in recovery, and—perhaps most notably —offer hope to those who feel that it has long since run out.
Throughout this work we never forget who we serve. We are especially proud of our commitment to transparency, accountability, and community-driven solutions. Our meetings are open to the public and meeting readouts are posted on our website for all to see and inspect. Our finances are audited and publicly reported. Every grant has been carefully vetted by experts and local leaders to ensure that funds are distributed in the most effective manner. It is this rigorous process that allows us to be confident that each investment is a step toward lasting change.
We know our work is far from finished. The OneOhio Recovery Foundation is committed to continuously refining and reenergizing our efforts, responding to emerging needs and working alongside our partners to make sure that every Ohioan can heal and thrive. As we prepare for another round of grants, we remain dedicated to ensuring that these funds are used to build a future where no one is left behind.
We thank you for your continued support and for joining us in the fight against addiction.
